Man as someone with a kid who is both allergic to dairy and gluten this just makes me sad.
My kid has real dietary needs, and I try not to burden whoever is handing out free candy for n Halloween with this.
My wife and I have taught my kid to be thankful to everyone, even if they can’t eat that particular candy when we do an allergen check later that night.
I’m similar to your kid. I have celiac and also severe lactose intolerance. Fortunately, a lot of candy is free of most allergens. For example, Sour Patch kids and Laffy Taffy. (Not sure if it’s vegan though.) I also had a nephew with a peanut allergy, so I try to read labels when I buy Halloween candy (though this year I decided to reverse trick or treat the houses on my block with kids and then turn the lights off, since kids don’t really go out anymore like they used to.)

Sour patch kids are vegan, fun sized laffy taffy is vegan. The bigger laffy taffy isn’t vegan.
Good to know, thanks! I think most of the candy I eat is vegan. In fact, it would probably be an easy switch for me to go vegan.
